540 Bbc
I thinking about switching my 509's to 540's
So far I have dart dominator intakes that are converted to injection with 2000cfm throttle bodies.
I need to buy heads, looking for 9.5 comp with 89 octane.
I need to make close to 700hp and torque with a hyd roller.
Do you think it is possible??

I'm no builder but comparing what mine were turned into several years ago.....700 out of a 540 running 89 will be tough. Spinning it up approaching 6,000 is probably the only way.

Baja,
You can get there with a set of dart pro 1's 355 CNC's and a good single plane intake both with a good port job, even in addition to the cnc work there's an additional 5% air flow to be gained tickling them some more by hand. 1050 dominator and good exhaust (tube headers) nothing less or all you big stuff up top is going to run out when your exhaust chokes up. Cam is a proprietary grind.

355 is definitely too big for a 540. I have a 598 and I am only running a 345cc, with some port work done to it.
I think you can get close to 700hp, but probably not over 700, especially not on 89 octane.
